The approach dimension

The approach dimension, also known as the approach dimensions, is a decisive parameter in logistics that describes the technically specified approach height of operating devices for the top and bottom storage levels. It is made up of the upper and lower approach dimensions and plays a decisive role in warehouse planning and design.

The precise determination of the approach height is of great importance, as it has a direct influence on the efficiency and safety of storage processes. The technically determined approach height of the operating equipment has a significant influence on the possible storage capacity and the accessibility of stored goods. Precise adjustment of the approach height enables optimum utilization of the storage area, as it allows the storage levels to be precisely matched to the requirements of the stored goods.

The approach height is particularly important in automated storage systems in which operating devices work autonomously. The technical configuration of the approach heights not only influences the storage density, but also the speed and safety of the storage processes. Observing the approach height enables goods to be stored and retrieved smoothly, minimizes the risk of collisions and therefore increases the overall efficiency of the storage system.

In the context of the legal regulations of the German Commercial Code (HGB), in particular §§ 449 and 466, a precise definition of the approach dimension is highly relevant. These regulations define the requirements for the proper storage of goods and emphasize the importance of technical parameters in logistics.

Continuous monitoring and adjustment of the approach dimension to the requirements of warehouse operations is therefore essential. This not only ensures efficient warehouse utilization, but also compliance with legal requirements and the safety of warehouse processes.

In summary, the approach dimension plays a central role in logistics, particularly in the optimal utilization of warehouse capacities and ensuring efficient storage processes.
